August 19 Update: What to do if you don’t receive an Amex multiplier, Cobalt multipliers for YYC Food Trucks & a couple of AIR MILES bonuses
– RewardsCanada.ca
Here’s your Rewards Canada Daily update! Your daily dose (or near daily dose) of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more. Here is a reminder to everyone using an American Express card at merchants that could or should be considered part of one of their spend category accelerators but only earn 1 point per dollar instead of 2, 3 or 5 points. If this happens to you you can reach out to American Express and have them look into it, in fact American Express encourages it as this is what they asked us to pass onto our readers back in 2017:It’s best for the Cardmember to call customer service for bonusing related issues. We need the Cardmembers data to be able to source the transaction in the back end to determine if the multiplier worked…. without Cardmember data, it’s hard to determine what would have happened.Please note this is only for Canadian merchants as American Express Canada can only control merchant codes here in Canada (hence the wording of 5x points this 2x points that for purchases in Canada)…It’s finally here!

This is the part of the program where you can convert Membership Rewards points to airline programs and the two most popular up to today have been Air Canada Aeroplan and British Airways Executive Club. Now you can add in a third program that may prove to be popular and that is Flying Blue – the frequent flyer program for Air France and KLM! We say the wait is over as a few years ago Flying Blue did show up for a couple of days in Amex Canada’s list of airlines probably as a test but then disappeared until now!Transfer rates for Flying Blue do unfortunately follow the other four airlines in the program outside of Aeroplan and BA and that is you will need to redeem 1,000 points for 750 Flying Blue miles. Still this can be a very lucrative redemption option due in part to Flying Blue’s famous Promo Rewards. Promo Rewards are their discounted flight awards that they offer each and every month…
